anyone recomend a specific size to fit 16s to my 9n?

been told that it should be 195/45/16 but was wondering if it looked better on
195/40/16 or on something wider like 205/45/16.

any help would be great!

Depending on the width, but anything up to 7.5j wide go with 195/40/16 mate.

My bad, Yeh the correct profile for 9N would be 195/40. But if your going low 40s would look better 8)

205/45*16 are the std for the gti which runs 16 inch alloys as for 40 series abit bumpy but it is your choice personally I would stick to 45
